''Ómar'' and ''Amillo'' are [[Qenya]] names. The former ('''''Ûmor''''' in [[Gnomish]]) is related to Qenya ''ōma'' "voice", while the latter is glossed as "one of the Happy Folk; Hilary", where ''Hilary'' derives from Latin ''hilaris'' "cheerful". The Gnomish equivalent of ''Amillo'' is '''''Gamlos''''' (likely meaning "one who shouts with joy").<ref>{{PE|14}}, p. 13</ref>
